Yet re should have jt understood that It cannot seek through great’ mimblna- tions and by over capitalization to create monopolies with which it can stifle competition, individually reduce wages and eontract prices to the detri ment of the people." Mr. Heyward stated that though cap ital Is an immense poiecr for .good or bad. nevertheless tho fact remains that usually conducted Its tendency Is Becidedly harmful, and thnt If the for mer laws of South Carolina were not found sufficient tp protect the people of the stale from oppression of com- ■hined capital, that the general r.ssem- Idy amend the laws as necessity de manded. yet to give capital always Its < gal right. Mr. Heyward reviewed the different bills which had been Introduced Into {the genrnl assembly forbidding the ’employment of child labor In the tex tile manufactories or the state, hut which have failed in their passage. 4 "In my Judgment.” continued Mr. Heyward.. "£he general assembly should pass a law prohibiting tlielr employment, hut that there should ho a condition in the law by which the manufacturers and operatives might adjust themselves to. the changed con ditions. 0 This can he done by making the prohibition to take effect gradually, with respect to the ages of children to be employed. - "The end to the object la the good of all concerned., and this .should be borne In mind at tho consideration which,should receive our careful at tention.” After the address of Governor Hey ward was concluded, Jamies T.
